Concept Maps

Software Resources from the Presentation:
I am not endorsing anyone of these tools. I tend to use a wide-array of tools depending on the nature of the project. I appreciate the quick and simple tools for brainstorming purposes and the more complex packages for large collaborative projects.

Desktop based tools:CMap Tools: Great foundation of useful research went into this. Highly recommended.VUE (Visual Understanding Environment): Visualizing and connecting information. Nodes can include any media and links to outside materials (URLs).MindNode: Simple, free mind-mapping software that exports maps to many different file formats.Free Mind: Free java-based software.Personal Brain: Dynamic and expensive 3-d software.Inspiration: Includes a large database of images and good export functions

Web-based Collaborative ToolsGliffy: We used this in our HIM 101 class. Very flexible and good for students new to the web.Bubbl: Simple online concept mapping toolMindMeister: This is like an online version of MindNode.Webspiration: The online version of the Inspiration package - good collaborative tool.Diagrammr: Create and share diagrams by writing sentences.
